Comments:

Individual agencies may target certain cases based on public interest or internal needs. The parties sharing the information should agree on specific codes and their meaning. No table is provided for this element because public interests and internal needs may frequently change.
For example, an individual agency may keep track of arrests in a school where a gun may be associated with that arrest. If this situation arises the case flag could be SCG (SC = School,
G = Gun).
